More quotes by Andre Maurois

Andre Maurois

Andre Maurois
The difficult part in an argument is not to defend one's opinion but rather to know it.
Andre Maurois
We can talk frankly about our defects only to those who recognise our qualities.
Andre Maurois
I knew a man who had been virtually drowned and then revived. He said that his death had not been painful.
Andre Maurois
A successful marriage is an edifice that must be rebuilt every day.
Andre Maurois

Andre Maurois
To be witty is not enough. One must possess sufficient wit to avoid having too much of it.
Andre Maurois
If you value a man's regard, strive with him. As to liking, you like your newspaper - and despise it.
Andre Maurois
Men and women are not born inconstant: they are made so by their early amorous experiences.
Andre Maurois
Either the soul is immortal and we shall not die, or it perishes with the flesh and we shall not know that we are dead. Live, then, as if you were eternal.
Andre Maurois

Andre Maurois
In literature as in love, we are astonished at what is chosen by others.
Andre Maurois
Few are they who have never had a chance to achieve happiness- and fewer those who have taken that chance.
Andre Maurois
No one can be profoundly original who does not avoid eccentricity.
Andre Maurois
A marriage without conflicts is almost as inconceivable as a nation without crises.
Andre Maurois
The clear and simple words of common usage are always better than those of erudition. The jargon of the philosophers not seldom conceals an absence of thought.
Andre Maurois
The first recipe for happiness is: avoid too lengthy meditation on the past.
Andre Maurois
People are discontent men are troubled and the literature is excellent.
Andre Maurois
The minds of different generations are as impenetrable one by the other as are the monads of Leibniz.
Andre Maurois
